Health

All our Cavaliers are heart and eye tested. 

Clara, Catrice, and Carter through his sire, are from Carolus Kennels (UK) who came first on the CKCS Club Over 5's Clear Heart Award List in 2005 & 2006 and runner-up for a number of other years. 

The dam/grand-dams and other relatives of Clara/Catrice/Carter have had MRI scans and been passed clear of SM.

Much has been written about health issues in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel on other websites by professional and knowledgeable persons.  Below are some links to information on health testing and research for the breed.
